Those of us who have lost little children
feel prompting within us to speak a word
of comfort TO every parent who is passing
through a similar experience. We cannot
do good to others save at q cost to our
selves, and our own affections are the price
we pay for our ability to sympathize. He
who would be helper must be sufferer.
He who would be a savior must some

properly with this arrangement, It'll neces-
sary that 1t should be cut two and one-half
inches longer in back than in front. The
increased length of the steels does not
| necessarily give an increased size to the
tournure; but by sewing the inner tapes
back from the ends, the ends of the steels
are allowed to rest fatty against the sides
of the figure, instead of being curved in

hair can be added to the skirt, or a separate

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.

GRANDFATHER WATTS PRIVATE FOURTH.
Grandfather Watts used to tell us boys
That Fourth want a Fourth without any
noise.
He would say, with thump of his hickory stick,
That il made an American right down sict
To see his sons on the Nations Day
sit round in q sort of listless way
With no grafton and no trainbqnd,
No tirework show and no root-beer stand
While his grandsons, before they were out OF
Were ashamed-great Scott to fire off squibs.
And so each Independence morn
Grandfather Watts took his powder horn,
And the fint-lock shotgun his father had
When he fought under Schuyler a country lad
And Grandfather Watts would start and tramp
Ten miles to the woods at Beaver Camp;
For Grandfather Watts used TO say-and scowl-
That decent ehipmunk or woodchuck or owl
Was better company, friendly or shy,
Than folks who didn't keep Fourth of July:
And so he would pull his hat down on his brow,
And march for the woods, SOU east by SOU
But once-ah long. long years ago;
For Grandfather's gone where good men go
One hot hot Fourth. by ways of our own
such shortcuts as boys have always known
We hurried and followed the dear old man
Beyond where the wilderness began.
To the deep black woods at the foot OF the
Hump,
And there was a clearing and stump
\ stump in the heart of the great wide wood:
And there on the stump our grandfather stood
Talking and shouting out there in the sun.
And firing that funny old fiint-lock gun
Once in a minute. his head all bare
Having his Fourth of July out there
The Fourth of July he used to know
Back in eighteen and-twenty or so.
First, with his face to the heavens blue
He read the Declaration" through;
And then, with gestures TO left and right,
he made an Grafton erudite,
Full of words six syllables long;
And then our grandfather broke into song,
And soaring the squirrels in the trees,
Gave =" Hail, Columbia to the breeze
And tell you, the old man never heard
When we Joined in the chorus, word for word?
But he sang out strong to the bright blue sky,
And if voices joined in his Fourth of July,
He heard them as echoes from days gone by.
And when he had done, we all slipped back,
As still as we came, on our twisting track,
While words more clear than the lint-lock shots
Rang in our ears.
And Grandfather Watts
He shouldered the gun his father bore,
And marched Oft home, nor west by nor.

Philadelphia, has been so bothered by the
questions of puzzled spectators that he has
prepared printed statement, in which he
says that be is now graduating his engine,
and is at work on the fifth octave. His
system, he says, is founded on sympathetic
vibration, in which there is neither pres
sure nor exhaustion, and all the power is
generated, the engine run and the cannon
fired through a mine. When the present
process of adjustment shall be completed,
aud when he shall be protected by patents,

PURIFIED.
Through suffering only can we rise;
Life's crosses we must daily bear
II in fair realms beyond the skies
Bright crowns uniading we would wear.
How oft we see some cherished hope
To sadness and despair give way,
While we in doubt and darkness grope,
Too crushed to mourn, too proud to pray
But let us not bewail our fate,
Nor sigh because of seeming loss
By fiery trials we separate
From precious gold the worthless dross,
And so He tries us day by day,
And with Christening hand He drives
The base and soriid parts away;
1t is our better self survives.
We press our hand upon the strings,
And they give forth sweet sound:
We crush the rosebud. and 1t filings
Its fragrant odors far around.
The Master knows our every heart:
lie knows the sweetest melody
IL can produce: and with en- art
Divine He touches every key.
